You’ve been dancing from even
before you were acting and singing.
So is it fun for you to do a show
in which the guys are doing the
dancing?
Well, when it comes to watching men
dance daily, I say yes (laughs). ... But,
yeah, it’s fantastic to see some real
dancing happening, and daily, it was
every day. It was thrilling. The first day
that we really got to see the boys dance,
I think everybody would agree with me,
there was a very palpable energy in the
“Movie: The Noel Diary”
Richard Paul Evans’ bestselling novel
served as the basis for this drama
about a bestselling author (Justin
Hartley, “This Is Us”) who returns to
his hometown to settle his mother’s
estate and finds a diary that holds keys
to the past. Bonnie Bedelia, James
Remar and Essence Atkins are also in
the cast of this comedy from director
Charles Shyer (“Baby Boom,” “Alfie”).

OF ‘WELCOME TO CHIPPENDALES’ ON HULU
room, one that we read about and one
that we learned about in our research
of what it really felt like to be in the
Chippendales club when it really started
going. And our amazing background
actors exploded into screams that made
all of us go, “Oh, I feel like I’m back in
1979!” So the dancing was great.
To have this series to do at this point
in time and “B Positive” was still
going when other avenues you might
have pursued weren’t available to
you, what did that mean to you and
for you?
Working on a project like this, I think all
of us felt that there was something special
happening in the room, something magic.
Yes, it had this glossy, kind of campy
overlay because it’s the Chippendales
dancers. And then underneath that, there’s
... everything that was happening socially.
And also, I think one of the more special
points of the Chippendales story was that
it was tethered to the movement of women
in this country and them gaining rights
and finding their voices.
